Texans | Dalton Schultz grabs seven passes Sun Nov 30, 06:00 PM
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught seven of eight targets for 55 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Schultz only caught one pass last week, but he was a very useful short range target for CJ Stroud and should be picked back up if he was dropped before this week. He has at least six catches in four of the last five games. |

Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins caught all five of his targets for 65 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Higgins shouldn't be on the waiver wire in any leagues. He is emerging as the #2 outside receiver with a good connection no matter who is playing quarterback. Consider him as a WR3/Flex option against Kansas City next week. |
Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb ran nine times for 34 yards and a touchdown in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks ran 19 times for 64 yards and caught one pass for three yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Marks left the game briefly with a foot injury, but didn't seem to be affected by it after he returned. He was still the clear leader in backfield touches, but Nick Chubb got the running back touchdown, and the return of CJ Stroud did not mean a return to the big receiving numbers we have seen from Marks with Stroud earlier this season. As long as Marks' week in practice is uneventful, he is still a good flex play against the Chiefs next week. |
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught five of 10 targets for 98 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Collins also scored on a seven yard run to put up the kind of fantasy WR1 stat line we expected, but have rarely gotten this season. Hopefully he is coming on at the right time for teams that got help from later picks to make up for Collins being one of many disappointing first round picks coming into Week 13. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 35 for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Stroud was better than his fantasy bottom line as the Texans scored both touchdowns on the ground. He was efficient and Nico Collins involved as a downfield receiver in addition to peppering Dalton Schultz with short targets and completing all five targets to second round pick Jayden Higgins, who is on the rise. Stroud will be a viable streamer and good QB2/Superflex option against the Chiefs next week as long as the weather cooperates in Kansas City. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) cleared protocol and will play in Week 13, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: After missing two games, Stroud is set to return in a divisional matchup against the Colts. The Texans' defense has been one of the league's best this year. Outside of deep leagues, Stroud projects as a low-scoring option, making him primarily a streaming candidate. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Stroud should be back after missing a few games with this concussion. The Texans have a huge game in the AFC South against a Colts team coming off a loss to the Chiefs in Week 12. Fantasy GMs should see Stroud as a QB2 in Week 13. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26.
| Footballguys view: Stroud hasn't played since getting concussed against the Broncos in Week 9. He should be good to go for Week 13 against the Colts. |

Free-agent RB Montrell Johnson (Eagles), TE Tanner McLachlan (Bengals) and TE Gee Scott (Patriots) recently worked out for the Houston Texans.
Link to storyTexans quarterback C.J. Stroud's status hasn't changed since last week. Head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that Stroud remains in the concussion protocol. Stroud was injured in the team's Week 9 loss to the Broncos and has missed the last three games.
| Footballguys view: Davis Mills has started all three of those games for Houston and the Texans have won all three to push themselves back into the playoff picture in the AFC. Ryans said that Stroud will return to the starting lineup if he clears the protocol ahead of the team's Week 13 game against the Colts. The next update on Stroud's progress will come with Wednesday's practice. That will also be the case for safety Jalen Pitre, as he also remains in the concussion protocol to kick off the week. |

Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce was placed on waivers by the team on Thursday, Nov. 20.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is now exposed to the NFL waiver process, and more than a few teams should be interested. He's a nearly 1,000-yard rusher not that long ago (2022, 939 yards rushing) and proven on special teams. |
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot) isn't expected to play this season.
| Footballguys view: This foot injury was first deemed minor, and Mixon was expected back. Then, the Texans went out and drafted Woody Marks and signed Nick Chubb. While Chubb has been solid we've seen Marks get more work as the season goes on. Without Mixon for the rest of the year, the Texans will keep working this Marks/Chubb backfield. |
